YOUNG POLISH PHOTOGRAPHER shows his art projects

Young Polish photographer PAWEL GRZES has visited our school and showed his photos from the project MIELESZKI and EXTREMUM EUROPAE. The students were very interested because Pawel Grzes was born in the village 8 km from our school and he photograps old villages and their inhabitants from the area of Podlasie and Bialorus.  His works tell us a lot about people living here and their stories.

New Mayor in Our School

The new Mayor of Michalowo - Marek Nazarko - visited our school on 11th February 2009.  He was invited by the editorial staff of the school newspaper. He talked about the things he has achieved so far as the village-mayor and about the future of our small town.  The meeting lasted 3 hours and there was also some heated discussion about the new town anthem and the problems of ecology. All the participants were really satisfied with the information they received and left the meeting room full of hope for the better future of the town of Michalowo.

TVP Bialystok in our school

2008, January 13th, Sunday, 9 a.m. - four students and two teachers are waiting. A reporter and a cameraman from TV program "Fulszok" are on time.  They're coming to talk about the opportunities for young people to make a career in the media. Emila Jezewska - a young TV reporer is asking questions - "Why do you spend your free time writing to the school newspaper or making films in the school film club? Do you want to work in the media in the future?" The answers are not easy and not necessary to the liking of the reporter.  She came here, having already recorded the panel discussion in the studio and wants our answers to fit the ideas and conclusions that are already set.  But after two hours of talking and filming everybody is satisfied! The effects can be seen here
